This sunday, on Port Meadow, timscience and myself will be finally carrying through on our long-term threat of introducing a solar airship to a baking powder rocket.

In the event of technical failure of either or both elements of the experiment -- what are the chances, eh? -- or rain, hail, sleet, snow, etc. we will retire to the Perch and complain about the weather.
